A Plea for Texas.

1othe Friends Of Temperance
The next State which must pass the or
deal of battle in the constitution amend
ment line is Texas. The vote is to he
taken August 4-ess than four months
hence. Our friends there believe we have
fair hopes Of winning, provided the usual
count-Iut does not prevail.
But no State has ever worked at such
disadvantage owing to its Immense area,
scattered population, and lack of sinews
OF war. The motto of the W. c. T. U. ia,
"Thou hast given me Southland; give me
also springs Of water" Let us help to
make that prayer fact. Personally, !
propose to send one hundred dollars to the
W. c. T. U. as my donation, giving leet-
ures at the North by which to earn the
amount. This l mention only for the
reason that hesitate to ask Others to do
what | will not myself attempt but hay
ing done this | feel free to urge all the
friends OF temperance to send money and
literature 10 our devoted workers in the
Lone Star State,
ii money IS forwarded to me / will
promptly send II on to the VIC I. L. of
the Union Signal. If speakers volunteer
their seryire, let them report to Capt. L. L.
Dohoney, Paris, Texas. II you have lit
erature to send (and let us each ransack
our shelves and see how much we have
laid up in store that we can spare), send it
TO the lady whose appended note should
stir every one of us TO action.
Let us take for the motto Of this new
campaign, Remember Michigan, and God
save Texas I" Yours in faith,

MY DEAR SIsrER-Nuw that the Mich
igan election is over, hope you will turn
your attention to Texas. l write tonight
to ask you to place the needs of Texas be-
fore the people. In the south part of the
element. In the west our people are FAM
inc stricken. They had no rain for two
years aud are bravely holding the ground,
praying for better days.
81 received letter from a lawyer at
Goldthwaite saying the people needed
literature but were 10 poor too buy il, for il
WAS all they could do to buy bread for
hungry wives and children-that they
were hungry Tor something to read. In
some places food is so scarce that all they
have to eat Is boiled weeds and greens.
Theirs is sad condition indeed, and
now the executive board has given ii INTO
my hands TO supply the poor people with
literature while others provide them food
Have you not some kind friends who
will contribute lberally? / am so anx-
iUus to supply their wants. Ii contrIbu-
tious are sent. please have them sent di-
reel TO me at Pilot Point, Texas, Box 1873.
